New Recruit
US military strike on Pakistan advocated
Monday, November 19, 2007
By Khalid Hasan
WASHINGTON: Two experts have proposed that the US should take pre-emptive action to secure Pakistans nuclear weapons before they fall into the wrong hands.
Frederick Kagan of the right-wing American Enterprise Institute and Michael OHanlon of the more liberal Brookings Institution
very interesting a Neo-Con & a Liberal co-opting a article...
Possible plan: One possible plan would be a Special Forces operation with the limited goal of preventing Pakistans nuclear materials and warheads from getting into the wrong hands. Given the degree to which Pakistani nationalists cherish these assets, it is unlikely the United States would get permission to destroy them. Somehow, American forces would have to team with Pakistanis to secure critical sites and possibly to move the material to a safer place. For the United States, the safest bet would be shipping the material to someplace like New Mexico, but even pro-American Pakistanis would be unlikely to cooperate. It would be better for the US to settle for establishing a remote redoubt within Pakistan, with the nuclear technology guarded by elite Pakistani forces backed up and watched over by crack international troops. It is realistic to think that such a mission might be undertaken within days of a decision to act. The price for rapid action and secrecy, however, would probably be a very small international coalition.
watching too many american movies....
We don't need baby sitters. These two guys are pretty damn naive.
I think you'll find there are Libyan ballistic missiles on display in the US! North Koreans have lost their nuclear detterent within a year. It ain't that hard for the Americans. Didn't the Iraqis also once have a nuclear plant, the Osiraq?
I'm not saying the US is capable of doing that to Pakistan but if they were mad, angry and threatened to send Pakistan to the stone age, I think you'll our military will collapse on it's knees within a day... without a fight. So Pakistan has always has to be prepared for anything in this crazy world.
p.s. Aunty Benazir has already offered to ship Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan to the IAEA.
